Any Cognizable offence is an offence in particular in which, a police officer under or in accordance with the law has got the provision to arrest without a warrant, while a non-cognizable offence is an offence wherein, the police officer is responsible for that case and will have no authority to arrest the person involved without a warrant.

Any famous judgment w.r.t CrPC 107 if any?

Krishnamurthy vs The Sub Divisional Magistrate: In this case the circumstances in particular that were taken and presented under the Division Bench and also came to be constituted to deciding the issues that were rising with this particular reference and primarily required to be recapitulated and for that very purpose it is necessary to briefly state all the facts of the case.

The case was established in a division of two groups, being categorized as party A and party B, and they lodged complaints against each other before the Inspector of Police and based on the filed complaint, there were inquiries that were conducted. In the opinion of Party A, the land in this case measures up to about 1.38 acres belongs to him and that the members of party B and that they are contending this same land belongs that they believe particularly belongs to Bharathamatha Temple and they also went on to assert that it was their right to hold the Mahabaratham festival.

Police in this case apprehending the registered FIR and went on to further forward the report to the Executive Magistrate to initiate the proceedings for a case which is given under Section 107 CrPC and based on this very report which was submitted by the police, the Magistrate and Revenue Officer, and it was passed and given in Section 111 CrPC, to call upon every member of Party A especially to establish cause, either through an Advocate or in person, as to why they should not be directed to give a bond of about Rs. 10000 for a time period of about six months.

To be able to put all that doubt that primarily just hovers and Governor-General of India went on to pass the Presidency Magistrates' Act of 1877. Section 215 with Section 491 of the Code. Thus the Act IV of 1877 had further enabled the Magistrate to call upon a person to establish the cause in such cases where breaches of peace were apprehended in prior, within the set territorial limits of the neighboring Presidency Towns. In subsequence of this, the Legislature repealed the 1872 Code and the Presidency Magistrates' Act and enacted a particular code called the "Code of Criminal Procedure, 1882. 

In this case, Section 107 of 1882 became the incarnation of Section 491 of 1872, which relates to keeping the security for keeping the peace.  

Section 107, of which is to the Code of Criminal Procedure, and it was further amplified that:

Which is to do any wrongful act that may probably be an occasion, a breach of the peace, and disturb the public tranquillity.

Section 107, of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and further shows that the very power to start proceedings that develop on the Magistrate when he receives precise information -

 "That any person at all is very likely to commit a certain breach of peace. The expressions that are important are the description of any person and likely. The section that further says nothing but that such a person must be a previous offender or a suspect. Even a lone wolf can create a breach of peace. This Section does not go on to think that a breach of peace, should have been made clear earlier that only is in order to completely prevent a breach of peace and that they can have the Magistrate start the proceedings under Section 107 and a certain breach of peace has clearly occurred, the Indian Penal Code will apply and those particular responsibilities for it will accordingly be brought to definite justice. Section 107  is not a requirement to take more care of it. It will lead to results that are unexpected, that is in a situation where a condition that does not exist in the Section is forcibly read into it, more the reason for it be likely of a breach of peace, by itself, it is enough for the Magistrate to start proceedings under Section 107 of Cr.P.C. Just to emphasize and say that a Magistrate should have to wait for the breach of peace to occur and also he can proceed to take action according to the law under Section 107, to further prevent the breach of that peace.

The Court superior to it should have all reasons to loathe in interfering when a certain show causes that the notice is issued and because any such interference would clearly amount to initiating putting it in the process which is further initiated by the Magistrate to prevent the breach of peace. It is a very common understanding that, after the annual village festival finishes, the lack of contentment in various factions will simmer for a reason. As each group will seek or want the other. In this case the police sense and avoid the situation to explode that particular Station House Officer and would lay this information that is necessary before the Magistrate. In the State of Tamil Nadu, it is the practice for the police to send reports in the form of as mentioned under Section 107 of CrPC and has received very serious criticism, particularly under the ground that Section 107 of Cr.P.C. It is not a provision that warrants registration of an FIR as under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and this particular argument can be very appealing, especially legally, but the practice is primarily prevalent in the State and is being used by the Police and that too to send a report to the Magistrate. The State Government has clearly provided and given any other means or method of sending this particular report.
